Spectrum – Issue 36

The theme of this year's 65 Roses National Awareness Week and conference is 'Better Together'. It is only by working together that we can improve CF services in Ireland. In recent weeks CFI has met with the senior management teams in St Vincent's University Hospital and University Hospital Limerick (in partnership with TLC4CF). We have further forthcoming meetings with Waterford Regional Hospital and the Mater University Hospital on a wide range of CF-related issues. On 13th March a CFI delegation met with Minister James Reilly TD to highlight continuing challenges in CF facilities in Ireland, including in particular in Beaumont Hospital where 13 inpatient rooms are badly needed for adult patients with CF.

About us

CF Ireland (CFI) is a voluntary organisation that was set up by parents in 1963 to improve the treatment and facilities for people with Cystic Fibrosis in Ireland. CF Ireland also co-operates with medical professionals to give maximum assistance to both parents and children/adults with Cystic Fibrosis.

We are supported by fundraising and voluntary contributions and are solely concerned with the well-being of people with Cystic Fibrosis.
